Workday Data Consultant · Chicago, IL

Hi, I'm Bryce.
I build Workday
data solutions
that actually work.

Workday Data Consultant based in Chicago. I specialize in Workday reporting, data architecture, and turning complex HR and finance data into something you can actually act on. When I'm not deep in a dataset, I'm usually somewhere with mountains or water.

01 — About

A bit about me

I'm a Workday Data Consultant — the kind of person who gets genuinely excited about a well-structured Workday report and can also explain why it matters to a room full of stakeholders.

My work spans Workday reporting and analytics, data integration, HR and finance data architecture, and translating complex system configurations into business outcomes. I thrive in environments where the data situation is complicated and the stakes are real.

Outside work: mountaineering, kayaking, exploring Chicago neighborhoods, and cooking things that take longer than they should.
